I've just moved to using the same (Default) pool for all my backup jobs. All my backup jobs are configured as Backups, and run as full backups. Each backup is for a different tape set and no tape sets should have more than one job on them.
I have a problem that the last tape in a set is set to 'Append'. Unless I change this in the database media table to 'Full', a second job may be written to the tape. This is what I've just done. I've written job 329 after job 315 on the same tape (CLW112L4). See below Two questions: * can I wipe the data pertaining to job 329 off tape CLW112L4 ? (I assume by using mt commands -- how can I find the block number to start writing zeros from?) * how can I stop this "Append" problem happening again?
